Description
Optimize Your Residential RO System with the FR-700-02 Flow Restrictor for Consistent Water Flow
The FR-700-02 Flow Restrictor is designed to enhance the efficiency and longevity of your residential reverse osmosis (RO) system by maintaining the precise flow rate of 700 ml/min. Unlike generic components, this specialized flow restrictor ensures stable system pressure and optimal water purification performance, addressing common issues like water wastage and membrane strain. As a trusted component from Water Softener Plus, it integrates seamlessly with residential RO setups to provide reliable and consistent water treatment.
Key Benefits
- Maintains accurate flow rate to protect RO membranes and improve filtration quality
- Reduces water waste by controlling output, making your system more eco-friendly
- Enhances system efficiency, resulting in better water pressure balance and consistent purification
- Durable construction designed to withstand residential water pressure and long-term use
- Easy to install and compatible with most standard residential RO systems
- Supports overall system reliability by preventing overpressure and potential damage
How It Works
The FR-700-02 flow restrictor regulates the flow of water exiting the reverse osmosis membrane by allowing a steady output of 700 ml per minute. It creates the necessary back pressure on the membrane, which is essential for efficient filtration and optimal contaminant rejection. By precisely controlling flow, it ensures that the membrane operates under ideal conditions, reducing the risk of damage and improving the quality of purified water.
Installed inline within the tubing of your residential RO system, this flow restrictor balances the pressure differential between the feed water and the membrane, helping to maintain system equilibrium and prolong the lifespan of other components.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll immediately notice a more consistent flow rate from your RO system, ensuring that water purification runs smoothly without fluctuations. In the first few days, your system will stabilize, delivering clean, filtered water at optimal pressure.
Over the longer term, the FR-700-02 helps reduce wear on your RO membrane and other system parts, minimizing maintenance needs and supporting a longer service life. Regular checks will confirm that the flow remains steady, contributing to reliable, worry-free operation.
What’s Inside
- Precision-engineered flow restrictor element – ensures exact 700 ml/min flow control for system efficiency

FAQ & Safety
Is the FR-700-02 compatible with all residential RO systems?
It is compatible with most standard residential reverse osmosis systems that use tube-to-tube flow restrictors; however, verifying tubing size and system specifications is recommended.
How often should I check or replace the flow restrictor?
Regular inspection during your system’s maintenance schedule is advised. Replacement depends on water quality and usage but generally every 1-2 years or if flow irregularities are noticed.
Can I install this flow restrictor myself?
Yes, it is designed for easy DIY installation with basic tools, but ensure the system is depressurized before installation for safety.
Does the flow restrictor require special cleaning?
No special cleaning is needed; if buildup occurs, it is usually best to replace the component to maintain optimal flow.
Will this flow restrictor affect water taste or quality?
No, it only controls flow rate and pressure; the filtration quality depends on your RO membrane and system setup.
